Making Strut Tower Bar for our Honda Beat

Since our car is a convertible, it is prone to a lot of chassis flex. Although we only take it out for our daily errands and weekend cruises, we felt a little more chassis rigidity couldn't hurt. This simple strut brace really stiffened the car and helped reduce the squeaking when maneuvering over bumps and hills. Overall, it was a fun and simple project.
